Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letters of August 21, in which you state that you have found a record of a Samuel Fleming (Flemming) Sr., who served in the North Carolina line and received land in Tennessee, also, a William Fleming (Flemming) Sr., who served in the North Carolina line, was recorded in Census of 1790 in North Carolina. You state that you believe those two soldiers to have been Samuel and William Leming and said William to have been identical with William Lemmons of Gloucester County, Virginia, who served in 1776-1778, 6 th Virginia, received land located in Kentucky and died about 1812. Greenbrier County, Virginia, 1783 Census recorded as Fleming and had a son, William.
In a claim for pension, S. 1952, based upon service of a Samuel Fleming in the Revolutionary War, his name is plainly written Fleming and he signed his name Samuel Fleming. He served in the North Carolina troops and received his pension while living in Rutherford County, Tennessee.
In a claim for pension, S. 32250, based upon service of William Fleming in the Revolutionary War, it is shown that he served in the North Carolina and South Carolina troops, having enlisted in Rutherford County, North Carolina. He was living in 1832, and received a pension, then a resident of Hall County, Georgia. He signed his name plainly William Fleming. It is not shown that he lived in Virginia, nor is there a claim for pension on file based upon service of a William Fleming (Flemming, etc.) who served in the Virginia troops.
Very truly yours,

I. Does the declaration show where the applicant resides?
yes
II. Did the declarant make the declaration in the county where he resides?
yes
III. If the applicant did not make the declaration in the county where he resides, is there any reason assigned for his not doing so? 
IV. Has the declarant mentioned the period or periods of the war when he served?
yes
V. * Has he mentioned with precision the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled?
yes  NO period and duration of each term required
VI. Has he given the names of the officers under whom he served, in conformity with the regulations?
yes
VII. Has he made a relinquishment of every claim to any other pension than the one under the Act of June 7, 1832?
yes
VIII. Has the Court given their opinion?
yes
IX. Has the Clerk given his certificate?
yes
X. Is the Clerk's seal affixed? And if so, has it a device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal?
It has no such device

XI. Has the applicant obtained the evidence of a clergyman and another respectable citizen as to their belief respecting his age and the general belief in his neighborhood relative to his revolutionary service? yes XII. If the clergyman's affidavit has not been produced, is there any reason assigned for not obtaining it?  XIII. If the applicant has no documentary evidence, and has not obtained the testimony of at least one living witness, has he stated in his declaration that such proof cannot be had? Documentary evidence to credible witness XIV. † If the applicant has produced a witness or witnesses as to his service, has the magistrate who administered the oath certified that he, she, or they are persons of credibility? yes Has the official character and signature of the magistrate been certified by the proper officer under his seal of office?  XV. Does it appear from any of the papers that the witness was in such a situation, or of such an age, as to have a personal knowledge of the applicant's service? yes XVI. ‡ Are the papers authenticated as the regulations direct? XVII. Are the seven interrogatories prescribed by the War Department answered satisfactorily? And, if not, which of them is not so answered?   99
EXPLANATORY NOTES.
♦ QUERE V. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
“Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades: For _____ year _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension.”

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which the applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable.
† QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.
In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
† QUERE XVI.  Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticated the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the end of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.

Gentlemen:
Will you please inform me of such family data as may appear on your records concerning one fd of NC & Tenn
Samuel Fleming, also spelled Flemming, senior, soldier of the Revolutionary War North Carolina Line. U.S. Census of North Carolina 1790 lists him under such spelling, and North Carolina land grant under such spelling is of record in Tennessee.
I think this is Leming as others under "Fl" have been positively identified, but many records are Lemmons.

Gentlemen:
I have the honor respectfully to refer to your BA-J/MMHF/111. letter of Sept. 9, and to request just a little patience with me, for I believe I am on the verge of discovering my lineage which I have sought for three years.
read I would like very much to know the heirs and date of death of Samuel Fleming, Sr. S. 1952 Pension, Rutherford County, Tenn, formerly Revolutionary soldier in North Carolina Line 1780-81 (and to whom North Carolina military land warrant No. 2802 was issued Sept. 30, 1785 and assigned by his heirs to George Augustus Sugg October, 1785.) It appears certificate was not issued until after 1800.
Preposterous as it may seem, the Surname has definitely and positively been identified by records as Fleming, Flemming, Leming, Lemming, Lemon, Lemmons, and Leman.
in Peter Fleming (also Flemming) from North Carolina to Sumner Co. Tenn. 1783, married Bertie Co. N.C. 1758 as Peter Leming, moved to Iredell Co. N.C., thence in frontier militia Burke Co. to Sumner Co. bought land from David Purvance as Peter LEMMONS, N.C. Land grant to Peter Lemans, Son Henry Fleming was Henry Lemmons War of 1812, Son John C. Fleming was John C. Lemmons War 1812, and John C. Lemming Seminole War 1836-37, pension record John Lemmons
Upon death of said Peter Lemmons (Fleming, Leming) in Smith Co. Tenn. 1797 (cut from Sumner Co) court at Gallatin, Giles Co. one Samuel Lemons testified as a witness, from Rutherford Co. William Lemmons, Sr. killed at Battle of New Orleans, married Sarah Coxe in Williamson Co. adjoining Rutherford, and James Fleming, Lemmons Leming reared a family in Bedford Co. adjoining Rutherford. Said Sarah Coxe Lemmons (Leming) came to Montgomery Co. Ark. 1860 applied for pension in which James Lemmons (Leming) and M.M. (Moses) Leming were witnesses from Polk Co. Ark., and I knew the last two when I was a child.
Your other record shows Samuel Leman enlisted at Pittsburgh 1778, and that is the name in which he bought land in E. Tenn.
Samuel Lemmons, Jr., according to your records made affidavit his name was Leming to secure bounty warrant 1850, and settlement of his estate shows Leming.

Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the records of several soldiers with the surname Fleming, or Lemon who served in various wars.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War and War of 1812 data, and the limited clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is impossible to comply in full with each request pertaining to soldiers of said wars.
The record of Samuel Fleming, Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 1952, and that of a Henry Fleming who served from Virginia in the War of 1812, are furnished you herewith. No record has been found based upon service in the Revolutionary War of a Peter Fleming, or Lemon, of North Carolina, under any spelling of these surnames.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
